Flint Native Creates GoFundMe Page As Call To Action
To Donate KLIKKAA TÄSTÄ
piikivi, MY (Helmikuu. 2, 2016) – Olympic bronze medalist and super middleweight star Andre Dirrell has taken matters into his own hands with a grassroots effort to raise funds in toward the purchase of clean water for those affected by the poisoned water crisis in his hometown of Flint. President Obama, viime kuussa, declared a national state of emergency in Flint, Michigan, whose water supply was contaminated with toxic levels of lead when its source was changed from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Tähän päivään mennessä, yli 102,000 people have been poisoned and the number continues to climb (source: Huffington Post).
The super middleweight has already donated thousands of dollars of his own money toward the purchase of clean water for Flint residents and is imploring his fellow fighters and everyone in the boxing community to do what they can to help.
“As an athlete, I have a great appreciation for the importance of water in someone’s life,” Said Dirrell. “You can’t train without water, but the people of Flint need it for much more than drinking. They need to bath, cook and stay alive. This is a tragedy and I feel as though I’m in a position to not only do what I can to help these people, but encourage my fellow fighters and the whole boxing community to do what they can.
“On a personal note, I have over 30 family members living in Flint can possibly be poisoned, including six or seven of my nieces and nephews who range from the ages of 2-13. It hurts knowing that there are serious long-term effects, especially on young kids. If those were my kids, I would want something to be done. Let’s help save my city.”

JUSTIN ‘THE BIG PYGMY’ WREN RETURNS TO ACTION IN EVENT’S FEATURED PRELIMINARY BOUT

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (Helmikuu 2, 2015) –An injury to Mike Bronzoulis has shifted things during the SPIKE-televised main card of "Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie " päällä Helmikuu. 19 klo Toyota Houstoniin, Texas. Nyt, the lightweight contest will pit Melvin Guillard (32-15-2) vastaan Derek Fields (15-6).

 

Lisäksi, Justin “The Big Pygmy Viking” Wren (11-2) returns to action in what will be his second appearance under the Bellator MMA banner, kun hän tapaa Juan Torres (4-4) in heavyweight fisticuffs.

 

The fights join a card that already features a double main event — Ken Shamrock (28-16-2) täyttää Royce Gracie (14-2-3) kolmannen kerran ja Kimbo Slice (5-2) taistelee mies, joka on kutsunut hänet pois, koska niiden ystävyys päättyi vuotta sitten, Dhafir Harris, tunnetaan paremmin nimellä "Rinta 5000" (2-0). In featherweight action, Emmanuel Sanchez (12-2) will look to continue his torrid pace when he meets Daniel Pineda (21-11) and former light heavyweight titlist Emanuel Newton (25-9) taistelut Linton Vassell (15-5).

 

Liput tämä Vapaaottelu fantasia alkavat vain $50 ja ovat myynnissä nyt Bellator.com, sekä HoustonToyotaCenter.com, the Toyota Center Box Office and Houston area Randall’s locations.

 

"Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie " olevinaan elää ja ilmainen piikki 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT, kun alustava jaksoja tulee virtaamaan suorana Bellator.com ja Bellator Mobile App.

 

Guillard suffered a horrific broken hand during his Bellator MMA debut against Brandon Girtz aiemmin tänä vuonna. “The Young Assassin” has made it clear that he intends on eventually fighting for the 155-pound title, and his road to the gold begins on Feb. 19 against a tough Texas native with plenty to prove. Of Guillard’s 32 voittaa ammattimaisena, 23 victories have come before reaching the judges’ scorecards.

 

Known as “The Stallion” to those familiar with his mixed martial arts career, Campos will come into his meeting with Guillard riding a two-fight skid. During his eight-fight tenure with Bellator MMA, the 27-year-old Texan has faced a plethora of top lightweight talent, going up against names the likes of: Michael Chandler, Patricky Freire, Brandon Girtz (2X), and Estevan Payan.

 

You would be hard-pressed to find a better story in all of MMA than the one that Wren can tell. The two-time National High School Wrestling Champion generated massive amounts of media attention on the road to his promotional debut at "Bellator 141: Guillard vs. Girt,” where he defeated Josh Burns. His story begins several years earlier, sisään 2010, when Wren confronted an opponent tougher than any he could face in combat sports: addiction.

 

With an opportunity to continue fighting on the table, Wren left the sport and began his recovery process. A chance meeting with a friend led Wren on a trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he came across and developed a deep connection with the Mbuti Pygmies, many of whom were enslaved, living on only the scraps the slave masters would pay them with. Wren found his calling there and wanted to do everything in his power to help the Pygmies. With multiple visits to the Congo, including a stint that lasted a year, Wren started a foundation called “Fight for the Forgotten.” Through his efforts, Wren and his staff of 17 have systematically bought the land of the slave owners, and have thus far legally given 2,740 acres of rainforest to the Pygmies, effectively freeing them from slavery.

 

Partnering with other groups like Shalom University and joining forces with Water4.org, Wren and his charity are responsible for drilling 26 water wells to help provide both the Pygmies and the former slave masters with clean water, and have plans to drill hundreds more. Lisäksi, the team has begun a sustainable farming project to benefit and provide food to both the Pygmies and non-Pygmies of the community.

Lewiston, Maine (Helmikuu 1, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerikan numero yksi alueellinen taistelu edistäminen, pitää sen seuraava tapahtuma, "NEF 21: KUOLEMATTOMAT ”tämä Lauantai, Helmikuu 6, 2016 klo Androscoggin Bank Colisee Lewiston, Maine. Taistelukortissa on tarkoitus olla molemmat sekalaiset taistelulajit (MMA) ja ammattilaiset nyrkkeilyottelut. Aiemmin tänään, ylennyksessä ilmoitettiin, että korttiin lisättiin amatööri kevytraskainen mestaruusottelu. Ryan Glover (2-1) kohtaavat Mike Williamsin (1-0) NEF-amatöörin 205 kilon avajaistunnukselle.

 

Ennen kilpailua MMA: ssa, Ryan Glover oli erottuva kaksoisurheilija Mountain Valley High Schoolissa Rumfordissa, Maine. Valtionmestari painija, Glover teki suurimman merkkinsä jalkapallokentällä, jossa Lewiston Sun Journal nimitti hänet "Vuoden jalkapalloilijaksi" vuonna 2010.

 

Viime vuonna, Glover kohtasi Billy “Bigfoot” Leahyn (3-1) NEF: n amatööri raskaansarjan mestaruuteen. Glover menetti läheisen päätöksen jännittävässä, kovaa fyysistä kilpailua. Nyt, nopeampi ja ketterämpi pienemmällä painolla, Gloverilla on tavoitteet saavuttaa NEF-kulta.

 

”Painonlasku ei ole ollut hauskaa, mutta on mennyt odotettua helpommin,”Totesi Glover, kun häneltä kysyttiin hänen leikkauksestaan ​​205 kiloon. ”Minusta on paljon parempi lähestyessäni 205 ja luulen, että pidän taistelusta tässä painossa. On katkeran makeaa pitää hihna 205. Menetin läheisen slugfestin viime kesäkuussa yksinkertaisesti siksi, että en pitänyt kiinni pelisuunnitelmastamme. Putoin pallon sinä iltana ja voit olla varma, ettei sitä enää tapahdu. Toivon, että Williams on harjoittanut yhtä kovaa kuin minä, koska, jos niin, se tulee olemaan taistelu, jota kukaan ei halua missata. Nähdään 6. helmikuuta ja älä myöhästy - tämä on show, joka kannattaa matkustaa 1000 mailia. "

 

Mike Williams otti kollektiivisen henkäyksen Androscoggin Bank Colisee -tapahtumasta, kun hän tuli esiin tulipalossaan "NEF XX".: VÄKIVallan HISTORIA ”viime marraskuussa. Williams, brasilialainen Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) sininen vyö ja Keski-Mainen brasilialainen Jiu Jitsu (CMBJJ) Auburn, räjähti uusi tulokas Joe Krech (0-1) ulos portista ennen kuin taattiin taistelua päättävä käsivarsi upeissa 26 sekunnissa ensimmäiseen kierrokseen. Huimaava debyytti riitti ansaitsemaan vaikuttavan nuoren Williamsin laukauksen NEF-kultaan.

 

"Tämä taistelu on vain yksi askel ja hän on tiellä,”Totesi Williams selkeästi kysyttäessä kommenttia.

 

”Tämä on toinen pääsiäismuna taistelusta tähtikuvitetulla kortilla, joka on tarkoitettu toimitettavaksi koko yöksi,"Totesi NEF osaomistaja ja matchmaker Matt Peterson. ”Kun tarkastelen tätä taistelua ja taitoja, jotka sekä Ryan että Mike tuovat häkkiin, Saan hanhi kuoppia. Molemmat ovat urheilullisia, aggressiivinen, nuoret ja nälkäiset kaverit, jotka haluavat kääntää päätään kun kilpailevat - eivätkä pysähdy mihinkään voittoon. Perustuu siihen, mitä olen nähnyt heidän tähänastisissa taisteluissaan, En näe kumpikaan hävittäjää yhtään unssia lopettamista. En voi odottaa voivani seurata tapaa, jolla tämä menee alas lauantaina.

Former Cruiserweight world champion Imamu Mayfield primed for comeback after 8-year hiatus

Jätä kommentti

Freehold, NJ (Tammikuu 29, 2016) – Melkein 19 years-ago, a 24 year-old Imamu Mayfield climbed to the top of the boxing’s mountain when he won the the IBF Cruiserweight title with a 12-round unanimous decision over Uriah Grant in Las Vegas.

That bout took place on a big show that was headlined by the rematch that saw Evander Holyfield defeat Michael Moorer.
Mayfied would make once defense before being stopped by Arthur Williams. Mayfield would go on to have some success by winning the USBA Cruiserweight title, but all and all he was just 7-7-2 since losing the title which includes losing his last three bouts (two to future world champions Krzysztof Wlodarczyk and Alexander Povetkin).
That was in 2008, fast forward 8-years and the now 43 year-old native of Freehold, New Jersey is planning a comeback.
“I own a gym and have been training fighters for the most part,” said the well-spoken Mayfield.
“After being away from the ring, I feel now that the time is right. I have had enough time to realize this is what I want to do. Now I am back with the people who started with me and took me to the title.”
“Those people are manager Vinny LaManna and trainer Charles Johnson.”
“Imamu and I have had great success together, when Mayfield and I got together it was from the untimely death of his longtime trainer manager Curtis Ford,”stated manger Vinny LaManna.
“Curtis did all the work, I just happened to have the relationship with then power house promoter Don King. I take no credit for any of Curtis great efforts , and it’s a shame Curtis couldn’t see all of his hard work that came together when the opportunity presented itself. I have always believed in Imamu’s skills , I truly believe he will be a force in the cruiser or heavyweight division.”
There were various times in the last 8 years that Mayfield was close to returning, but the timing just wasn’t right.
“I reached out through the years to make a comeback, but I could not make it happen. Different people inquired, but now I am back with the people who I trust and am Comfortable with.”
“I could have continued in 2008, but I wasn’t taking the right fights for the right reasons. I was being used as a steppingstone and I felt I was better than that.”
Mayfield is now fighting for different reasons.
“I am fighting for the love of boxing and want to get back to the position of being on top of the mountain.”
Towards the end of his career, Mayfield fluctuated between Cruiserweight and Heavyweight. In his time off, he has stayed in good shape and he does not see a lot of time before he is a Cruiserweight contender again.
“I am at 230 pounds now. When I fight in a couple months, I should be about 220. With each passing fight, I am going to work my way down to 200.”
While he shrinks down in weight, Mayfield sees a lot of growth in the sport that he left nearly a decade ago.
“There has been a lot of good in boxing. The sport is on the upswing. The Cruiserweight division looks competitive and I can compete with those guys. If I truly did not believe that, I would not be doing this. I still have the skills, but now I have the wisdom. My body is pretty preserved and I think I have a good shot at getting the Apple.”
“I am looking forward to getting back in there. I have always had a good fan base and a good team. Ennen, i would have to travel two or three hours to just train. Now I have my own gym. It isn’t only me, but my wife and family love this idea of me trying to do some great things in boxing and become world champion again.”
